Graduated Dose Dispenser And Applicator

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present subject matter is the first of the kind delivery container that aids in soothing pleasant transdermal medication delivery. The topical medication delivery device allows for exact dosage amounts with each dispense of medication, which does not exist in any other prescription container of the gel and gel-cream medications.

In the prior art, medication is typically given in a patch, pill, injectable, or capsule form. The present subject matter is the first of its kind that aids in soothing pleasant transdermal delivery in an accurate manner.

The present subject matter resolves many issues currently caused by oral, injectable, and patch medications. Some of this issues include irritation of skin, anxiety from the use of needles, and also will allow for discrete method application of medication in public settings. The present subject matter aids in delivering medication that is applied transdermally and can directly go to the nervous system and body instead of having to use the GI tract and get certain dose percentages lost in its application.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present subject matter comprises of the following parts:

• • 5—Cap
  • 10—Body
  • 15—Plunger
  • 20—Screw Rod
  • 25, 26—Pins
  • 30—Knob
  • 35—Channel
  • 40—Plunger Lip
  • 45, 46—Detent
  • 50—Alignment Ribs
  • 55—22-400 Plastic Bottle Thread
  • 60—Round Tip

The cap, body, and screw rod/knob assembly are comprised of polyethylene terephthalate or other suitable pharmaceutical grade rigid plastic. The plunger is comprised of polypropylene or other suitable pharmaceutical grade pliable plastic.

The present subject matter operates as follows:

The plunger 15 is threaded onto the screw rod 20. The screw rod 20 assembly is then inserted into the body 10. Once assembled, the unit cannot be separated.

The cap 5 and body 10 are assembled with a 22-400 plastic bottle thread 55 for a complete and tight seal.

The channel 35 of the body 10 feature two detents 45, 46 which are located 180 degrees apart. One pin 25 is enlarged to catch the detent 45 when twisting knob 30.

The present subject matter is designed to dispense an exact amount of product per one-half turn of knob 30.

The round tip 60 of the body 10 is used as the product applicator.
